Forums - Sony Discussion - Eurogamer Interview with Shuhei Yoshida

The final question is the obvious one. Will we see The Last Guardian at the Tokyo Game Show?

Shuhei Yoshida: I don't think so. Sorry.

So, when will we see it?

Shuhei Yoshida: When we are ready. I cannot confirm any timing because we are waiting for it to be in a state where we are happy that this is the game. We have a certain time frame in our mind, and the team is making great progress, but still not to the point that we can say that, here you go.

Can you say why it's taking so long in development?

Shuhei Yoshida: The technical issues on PS3 and the way it was engineered didn't work. It worked to some extent, that's why we had a date in mind.

You did announce a release date for it on PS3.

Shuhei Yoshida: Yeah. That was a mistake. But at one time it was looking possible. It has been totally re-engineered. They're still working on it. I've been seeing the progress.

Welp! I'm glad it's still being worked on, but still can't understand why it's been taking so long. It's still the biggest piece of vaporware in gaming history IMO, and unlike, say, Duke Nukem which people very soon stopped giving a fuck about, this is one game I will always be ready for. ICO and SoTC were marvels on the PS2, more impressive than more than most of contemporary games.
